When nothin seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a 100 times without as much as a crack showin in it. Yet at the 100 & 1st blow it will split in two, and I know it wasn't that last blow that did it—but all that had gone before~J Riis

US State Department briefing to Congress makes it explicit: America is expanding security, economic and military cooperation with Somaliland - Berbera port, Red Sea stability, and disrupting Al-Shabaab/Houthi networks.

All while repeating the ritual line about respecting Somalia’s territorial integrity. This is straightforward realpolitik.

Somaliland has delivered functional governance, secure territory and strategic location for over three decades. Mogadishu has not. Washington is responding to reality on the ground rather than diplomatic fiction. Somaliland’s model of self-built institutions, own revenue, own security proves that sustained capacity and geographic value create leverage far more effectively than appeals to international norms or perpetual aid dependence.

The Horn is watching. Strong internal sovereignty beats managed fragility every time.

nobody wanted Arsenal to win the Prem because we thought their fans were gonna be unbearable and annoying, but whats ended up happening is everyone else has become completely unbearable instead, crying and belittling their achievements as much as possible just to fuel agendas

I’m convinced that no matter how you choose to live, people will tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Wrong priorities. Wrong work. Wrong relationships. Wrong whatever. Your entire life will change the moment you learn to smile, nod, and ignore every single one of them.

“The long-term goal of the aid sector should be to make itself unnecessary in the future,” argues @MSuzman. “Targeted investments in areas that contribute to local growth and human potential can push the world there within the next 20 years.”

The older I get, the more I realize that optimism is a competitive advantage. Not blind positivity. The belief that problems can be solved. That things can improve. That your actions matter. People who believe a better future is possible are the ones who create it.

[Tony Fadell @tfadell]

Nobel Prize winning economist Kenneth Arrow wrote about "learning by doing" decades ago. He knew that productivity and expertise improve through experience.

The messy, repetitive works is often where you learn the patterns that eventually become judgment. Knowledge can be taught, but judgement is built through lived experience.

The first draft you rewrite. The customer call you listen to. The bug you fix and fix again. The factory floor you walk.

Small decisions you make every day teach you judgement. And, judgement is the thing everyone wants from senior people in the workplace. If we automate away every entry-level task without replacing the learning loop, we are removing a part of the process that creates experts.

The goal should be to use AI to accelerate learning, remove friction, and give people better tools to build expertise faster.

🚨Josh Kroenke’s words after yesterday’s parade hit different ❤️ He Said…..

🗣️With what I witnessed yesterday night in London, I think we need this every year.”

🗣️I will do all it takes, provide everything needed, do all that I need to do without hesitation.”

And then he said it with full chest: “I believe we are currently the best club in England, with no doubt.🥰

Seeing him on that bus singing, holding the trophy high, wearing that brothers Saliba/Gabriel shirt you could feel it. He’s not just the owner anymore… he’s one of us. Living the dream with the fans who stayed loyal through everything.

This is the standard now. Proper love from the top. We deserve this energy every season.

COYG 🔥🏆❤️ Who else got goosebumps reading his words?

[Footalyse @footalyse]

This has blown me away. Hollywood couldn’t create a scene like it. The most lied about players, manager and fanbase. Everybody deserves this day.

Including those losers who are probably readying their “cringe” and “performative” Arsenal tweets 😂

Arteta is quick as a flash when asked if the pressure is less for Arsenal now they've won the Premier League (which we all think it is)

"No. The ambition is bigger. We have one. We want the second one."

[Dapboy⚪🔴 @Dapboy_AFC]

After watching this, every Arsenal fan should apologise to Wenger for saying Wenger out🥹

All the top four finishes, all the moments we sold our big players, it was all because he had to clear the clubs debts. No oil money was there to save us, that is why Chelsea, Man United, Liverpool and Man city left us behind for all these 20+ years.

He crawled so that Arteta could walk.

More overwhelming accounts of UAE role in 🇸🇩."Many governments contributed to Sudan’s catastrophe. But the UAE went above and beyond to run a covert airbridge to the RSF, airlifting wounded RSF fighters to Emirati hospitals, and facilitating RSF smuggling."https://t.co/0H6RFWtCX2

The real purpose of wealth is freedom. Freedom to slow down. Freedom to not rush through your own life. Freedom to spend your days doing things that you actually care about. That’s what money is really for. Not to impress strangers. Not to collect expensive distractions. But to buy back your time. A quiet breakfast without checking emails. Long dinners without looking at the clock. Conversations without feeling rushed. A two-week vacation where your nervous system finally relaxes. Time to read. To think. To explore your interests deeply. That’s real wealth. Everything else is noise.
